I've been to Muu-muus a few times, so when we were deciding on a lated night dinner this Thursday during the holiday season, we both thought Muu-Muus was just what we were looking for. We walked in and were surprised that even though people were smoking, it smoke in the air wasn't as bad as other bars (a plus). The atmosphere was great, good music playing, many people inside, but we didn't feel like sardines in a can (a plus). After sitting down we ordered a peppermint patty (delicious winter drink) and something resembling a mojito which both came promptly and tasted great (two pluses). Our server was very nice, attentive, and helpful (plus). Food came very quickly and was yummy (plus). HOWEVER, just after our food was set on the table, the music changed from a nice worldly tune to "Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo." (This is a song about a piece of holiday feces that talks, walks, and sings in the cartoon show South Park). Not the kind of song you want to listen to while eating. My boyfriend and I laughed a little, and tried to continue eating with the impression that it was a joke for one of the bartenders. Finally the song was over, BUT WAIT we continued to listen to TWO MORE SOUTH PARK CHRISTMAS SONGS. It was almost surreal. The music was loud enough so that we couldn't ignore it, so we sat there for ten minutes just looking at each other thinking, "What the heck is going on." One South Park song was slightly amusing (even if it was about a musical POS), now ten minutes into it we were ready for our check before we were halfway done with our meal. Those ten minutes were one HUGE negative that ruled out a good number of positives to make our evening not so great. We were planning on staying and ordering a few rounds of drinks, but decided to keep our money and head home. Too bad, I doubt I will returning to Muu-muus anytime soon.
Pros: Good food
Cons: Christmas Poo
